Tent

Each of Grumeti River Camp's 10 tents is set up on a concrete base. This is then covered by a large A-frame pole-and-thatch structure with a woven banana leaf ceiling which helps to keep the entire unit cool. The canvas tent is set back under its 'roof' leaving a good amount of space for a private veranda. Mosaic patterns laid into the concrete floor here match the outdoor furniture's table top and help create a pleasurable place to relax between wildlife activities.

Large canvas and mesh zip doors lead into a sizeable interior dominated by a superb bed - this can also be converted into twin beds. Brightly coloured linen match comfy arm chairs and beaded lamp shades making an otherwise dull canvas tent, vibrant and fun. Large mesh windows let in light and, along with a ceiling fan, help to keep the air circulating.

The bed's tall headboard divides the bedroom from the bathroom and becomes a shelving unit on the other side, complete with hanging space, a small safe, dressing gowns and wellington boots put out during the rainy season! Opposite, a mirror overhangs a sink and is flanked by two doors – one leading into an open-air shower room, and the other into the toilet.

Each tent also has a hairdryer, plug points and a gym in a bag (including a book of exercises, mat, weights and a skipping rope).
